[HP] Squib Prince

To be honest, Brian gained a lot from the banquet at Malfoy Manor.Especially at the end of the banquet, Lucius introduced to himself one by one the partners he worked with in the Muggle world.So in these businesses involving the Muggle world, the Prince family can also use their own knowledge and Brian's understanding of the Muggle world to get a share.

After Brian politely declined Lucius' invitation to stay overnight, he took a carriage from Malfoy Manor back to Prince Manor at midnight, just like when he came.

"Are you back?" As soon as he entered the door, Brian saw his grandfather, Mr. Duke, standing in the portrait, looking at him with burning eyes, as if he was waiting for him there specially.

Brian was taken aback, then stood obediently in front of the portrait, and replied, "Yes. It's so late, why are you still waiting here?"

The old man glanced at Brian, as if he was evaluating his current state. He nodded secretly, then waved his hand, and said, "Go back and rest first, and come to the study at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Brian thought of what the old man had said to him before attending the dinner, pursed his lips nervously, nodded, and returned to his bedroom.

Brian lay on the bed with his eyes open, thinking about what Mr. Duke would say to him tomorrow.Ask about the status of your party?There will definitely be this.What he was more worried about was that the other party said that he wanted to talk about his recent performance.Thinking of this, Brian began to think carefully about whether he had done anything that did not meet Mr. Duke's requirements recently.Brian thought about it, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with his behavior; he had completed his daily homework, and he even knew the significance of his strength to this family in the magic world, so he completed more magic-related tasks. Training; he didn't show any outrageous behavior at Hogwarts, except for taking care of the Weasley children?But since it was decided to maintain a friendly relationship with the Weasleys, this must not be a big deal.Brian turned around. At worst, he would take care of him more secretly in the future. He really liked Charlie, a very lively child who would not make trouble for no reason.

When thinking about Hogwarts, Brian couldn't help but think of Snape.He lay quietly on the bed, and Snape who was in the garden tonight appeared in front of his eyes.That man is silent and unreasonable, but he can always accidentally see his solid back when you need help the most. This kind of Snape is really very reliable.

Brian covered his eyes with one hand, grabbed his pajamas tightly with the other, and even curled up his toes, trying to calm down the restlessness in this way.In fact, it is not appropriate to say that it is restless.In addition to being moved by this person, Brian also felt a little guilty or fearful in his heart.He was afraid of hearing the heart-wrenching sarcasm from this person's thin lips, he was afraid of the disappointment in the eyes of this person who knew his thoughts, he was afraid that he would be unable to control his emotions more and more. And Snape found his dirty mind...

Brian bit his lip and turned over impatiently again.Although he was very tired physically, but mentally sober, he could only toss and turn on the big soft bed, thinking about Snape's attitude for a while, and thinking about the newly joined business of the Prince family After a while, he turned to think about the probability of the disappearing Dark Lord and the Prince family gaining a firm foothold in this possible war. From this, Brian thought again about the danger of Snape's current position .Thinking of it this way, Brian became more awake, and after tossing and tossing for most of the night, he finally fell asleep in a daze.

"Master, you should get up."

Brian was awakened by Bai Xian's voice. He blinked and looked at the ceiling in a daze until Bai Xian said again: "Master, you should be up."

Brian rubbed his throbbing temples and sat up on the bed.As soon as he sat up, Brian felt his world spinning.He slowed down, then took the hot towel from Bai Xian and wiped his face, only then did he feel better.

He dragged his limp body out of bed, and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while.He didn't sleep well that night, and those bizarre dreams kept filling his mind.For a while, I returned to my original university job, for a while, Snape was lying in the hall of the Prince Manor covered in blood, and for a while, Snape's bloody face became gloomy again. After a while, he turned into himself attending Snape's wedding... In short, these messy dreams made Brian feel only one thing, and that was disgusting.

"Master, Master Duke made an appointment with you at nine o'clock in the morning, and you have half an hour left." Bai Xian waited for Brian for a while, seeing that the other party had no intention of washing and changing at all, he could only walk up to Brian. Go ahead and remind.

Brian heard that Bai Xian mentioned Mr. Duke's appointment with him, so he jumped up from the edge of the bed and hurried to the bathroom.

After Brian took care of himself, he became refreshed again.It's just that the refreshing appearance can't hide the two big dark circles on his face.

After an exquisite breakfast, Brian went to the study with two dark circles under his eyes.

"It's still on time." In the study, his grandfather Duke was already sitting gracefully inside his own portrait.He looked at Brian, who was still a little out of shape, and commented lightly.

"Good morning, grandfather." Brian didn't feel refreshed until he saw Mr. Duke.

"Sit down." Mr. Duke nodded, then pointed to the sofa not far away with his crutches, and said.

Brian complied and sat down.The position of the sofa is right in front of the portrait, but the angle is not so straight. This angle is suitable for conversation without making both parties feel oppressed.

Mr. Duke saw that Brian was ready, without any foreshadowing at all, and went directly to the topic: "Okay, let's talk about the situation of yesterday's banquet."

This conversation was already anticipated by Brian, without any hesitation, he slowly but clearly explained what he saw and heard at Malfoy's house yesterday.He focused on the people Lucius brought him to meet later, and the Muggle business that the Prince family was about to participate in.

Mr. Duke stroked his chin, thinking in his eyes.He didn't interrupt Brian until he had finished: "That's how it was yesterday."

Duke nodded and said, "You are now the owner of Prince, and you should make up your own mind about some things. But, have you thought about it clearly? Doing business is not our main purpose. Why do you participate in the business of the Malfoy family? ?”

Brian had clearly anticipated Mr. Duke's question.When he decided to participate in those businesses, he had already thought about the role the Prince family played in these businesses and what they wanted.

"Making money is not the goal." Brian thought about it, and then slowly said his thoughts, "We need a chance to be on the same boat with the Malfoy family. Just relying on Severus, they don't have to pay for our entire family Responsible. If it was a business in the wizarding world, we could easily be branded as Death Eaters, but in the Muggle world, there is obviously no such concern."

A smile appeared in Mr. Duke's eyes, and he asked, "The Malfoy family is known for their cunning, how can you guarantee that your business in the Muggle world will not be used by them to show favor to that Dark Lord?"

As soon as Bryan heard this question, he knew that Mr. Duke was deliberately testing himself. He smiled slightly, looking very confident: "I believe that my grandfather knows the Dark Lord better than anyone else. exposed to that person. At least, judging by what they can conceal about these businesses, we should think a little bit the same."

Mr. Duke's expression finally softened this time, and he nodded, agreeing with Brian's words.

Bryan became more relaxed, he hesitated, and then said: "There is one more point, although it sounds a bit disgraceful. However, I don't think you will be ashamed to say this. We need a way out. Obviously, the large population , which is very suitable for the Muggle world, which is very unfamiliar to wizards."

"Finally, he looks like the head of Patriarch Prince." Mr. Duke nodded and said proudly, "It seems that our family education is still very necessary."

Brian was speechless and twisted his body uncomfortably.Normally, such an action would definitely attract a reprimand from Mr. Duke, but now he is in a very good mood, so he naturally let go of Brian's little action that does not conform to noble etiquette.

"Indeed, Prince has never been afraid of innovation and challenges, but before taking the challenge, it is necessary to consider the way out, otherwise, going forward recklessly without careful consideration can only be called impulsiveness."

For some reason, when Mr. Duke talked about this behavior, Sirius' snarling face came to Brian's mind.He twitched the corner of his mouth, and then began to concentrate on listening to Mr. Duke.

"Since you have such an idea," Mr. Duke said to Brian, "then make it perfect. What kind of attitude should you have when facing the Malfoy family, and how should you deal with them so that you don't suffer? Ask Severus well."

Brian nodded hastily. With his grandfather's words, it was obvious that he had another reason to go to Snape.Although seeing him and thinking about his inner thoughts is a kind of torment, but not seeing him is an even more unbearable torment for Brian.

"So, now let's talk about the question Severus asked about you."

The author has something to say:

There is another update in the evening, to make up for yesterday's, I missed the appointment yesterday, I am really sorry everyone...
